ST. LOUIS, Mo. (Ivanhoe Newswire) - Fall sports are back in full swing, but it's not all fun and games. This year, three and a half million kids playing football and other sports will be treated for a sports injury. Many will suffer their first or a repeat concussion. We'll tell you what parents need to know to keep their kids safe after brain injuries.
They happen all the time and at all levels. But it hit Mason Smith by complete surprise.
"I remember playing but I woke up in the hospital," said Smith.
The 14 year old tri-athlete got his first concussion during a pick-up game of basketball.
"He kept asking the same questions over and over again and it really alarmed me as a parent because he never had a concussion and I would've never have known that that was one of the things that happens," said Mason's mom, Jennifer Smith.
A recent survey shows many parents don't recognize the red flags. Only eight percent know the risks of repeated brain injuries.
"That actually can be a catastrophic problem if someone actually reinjures their brain before it's fully healed," said Mark Halstead, MD, and Director of the Sports Concussion Clinic Washington University School Of Medicine in St Louis.
So what are the consequences of getting back in the game too soon? Worsened symptoms, longer recovery or death. Young athletes are at higher risk of second impact syndrome
"While they're still recovering from their first can develop massive swelling in their brain and they can die," explained Dr. Halstead.
Next can your diet help speed up recovery? Studies show Omega 3's can help decrease nerve cell damage and "creatine" found in meat may also help.
Can mouthguards and high-tech helmets prevent a concussion? While they provide protection some believe they're more of Hail Mary.
Before hitting the field, football players should do a helmet check for loose attachments, broken welds and cracks in the temporal area.
While knowing what to look for is key, Dr. Halstead said when in doubt, sit them out.
"It's better to miss one game than miss the season," he added.
While the traditional rule has been to wake up a concussed athlete every three to four hours during the night, Doctor Halstead said the best thing for the brain after a concussion is rest. Mason slept 44 out the 48 hours following his concussion.
CONCUSSION SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS: It is important for parents and coaches to be able to recognize when a student or child has had a concussion so that they receive the appropriate medical attention and are not put at risk for another concussion. The most common signs of a concussion are as follows and can be used to estimate the severity of the concussion.
SPORTS STATISTICS: Although football is responsible for its fair share of concussions, many people overlook the danger of receiving a concussion in other contact (and non-contact) sports. A McGill University study found that more than 60% of college level soccer players reported symptoms of a concussion in only a single season. Severe head trauma also accounts for 15% of all skiing and snowboarding injuries and some people continue to refuse to wear a helmet. Cheerleading, boxing, rugby, horse riding, and cycling are other sports where the participants are at risk of a head injury. Football continues to be in the top two for head injuries with 46,948 players having to go to the emergency room in 2009. The number one sport with the most head injuries: cycling. With a staggering 85,389 people having to go to the emergency room for a head injury, it beats football by a significant margin. (Source: www.aans.org)
HOW TO HELP: If someone has a concussion, these suggestions will help with a quick recovery:

Chamber of Commerce Clear, 48°F. There's an old folk saying about the Ozarks: "It's not that the mountains are so high, it's just that the valleys are so deep." It's true. The Ozarks are a heavily eroded plateau, pushed up eons ago and carved out by hundreds of streams over thousands of years. Nature worked wonders, and today the diversity of these highlands is endless. Some of the most scenic rivers and majestic lakes in America are here to enjoy. Trout floats on the White, Little Red and Spring Rivers, plus bass and panfish outings on the lakes and smaller streams, make for world-class fishing action. Recreational boating, canoeing and swimming are also on the agenda of many visitors. Plan a leisurely walk along a trickling stream, or pick up the pace on an award-winning hiking trail. Enjoy the shady porch of a cozy log cabin or sail a 40,000-acre lake. Take time to tour a museum, historic home, formal garden or Civil War park. Dance and sing along at an informal mountain hoedown or dress up for an evening on the town. Include a day or two to explore the rich heritage of the hill country. Study the traditional folkways, see the wonders of a limestone cavern or visit a craftsman at work. Hideaway in the Ozarks this year.

It was in the living room. My father was reading the newspaper. I was reading Sir Arthur Conan Doyle:
Sherlock Holmes sat up with a whistle. "By Jove, Peterson!" said he, "this is treasure trove indeed. I suppose you know what you have got?"
"A diamond, sir? A precious stone. It cuts into glass as though it were putty."
"It's more than a precious stone. It is the precious stone."
"Not the Countess of Morcar's blue carbuncle!" I ejaculated.
I looked up from my book.
"Hey, Dad."
"What does 'ejaculate' mean?"
He put down the newspaper and sighed. I never did find out who stole the Countess's blue carbuncle.
Kids today have different options. "You already know a lot about your penis," Karen Gravelle begins, in "What's Going on Down There?: Answers to Questions Boys Find Hard to Ask." In "Sex, Puberty, and All That Stuff: A Guide to Growing Up," Jacqui Bailey writes, "Whether her hymen is holey or whole, a girl is always a virgin if she has not had sexual intercourse." Lynda Madaras's "On Your Mark, Get Set, Grow!" includes a chapter subtitled "All About Erections," although I'm pretty sure the Bette Davis joke is lost on her readers: they're in fourth grade.
Think of the genre as something between Kinsey for kids and a juvenile "What to Expect When You're Expecting." Maybe you had one of these books when you were young. The big hits in the seventies were " 'Where Did I Come From?': The Facts of Life Without Any Nonsense and with Illustrations" (1973) and " 'What's Happening to Me?': The Answers to Some of the World's Most Embarrassing Questions" (1975), both of which were written by Peter Mayle, who went on to write "A Year in Provence." If you put your mother and your father in a bathtub, Mayle suggested, you'd notice that they're different. "You've probably noticed that already, but you notice it much more when you put them in the bath together." "Vagina" rhymes with "Carolina," Mayle explained, and an orgasm is like a sneeze. Gesundheit. You can see Mayle's influence in the way the authors of these books try to be funny—deadpan and wide-eyed—but when they're awful—phony, mainly, and joyless—there's almost nothing worse, because if you're nine and you're reading a book with the word "uterus" in it, really, it's bad enough already.
The best of the latest batch have an endearing and companionable matter-of-factness. "Pads are also called sanitary napkins," Robie H. Harris explains in "It's Perfectly Normal: Changing Bodies, Growing Up, Sex, and Sexual Health," for ages ten and up, and then she has the good sense to add, "Sanitary means clean." Harris doesn't have Mayle's ear for the ridiculous, but at least she's not hammy. Her books, which include "It's So Amazing! A Book About Eggs, Sperm, Birth, Babies, and Families," for ages seven and up, are genuinely sweet, in a genre in which there's a fairly despicable tendency to be edgy, brash, and cool, as if what kids can put out must be what they need from grownups. She's got a section called "What's Love?," and sensible, even existential, answers ("Sometimes people just love each other"), along with a remarkably thoughtful discussion about love between men and men and between women and women. Harris's books also boast by far the best illustrations, honest and tender drawings by Michael Emberley.
The worst illustrations? No contest: Robert Leighton's cartoons in Gravelle's books, which take their sensibility from Mad magazine; to wit, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia as bug-eyed, slimy monsters, and, for a mascot (most of these books have a mascot), a tiny, naked, bald homunculus who walks around with an erection. Here is why you must never, ever buy this book: in an illustration for a discussion titled "How Much Does a Girl Bleed? Does She Have to Wear a Bandage?," that homunculus guy is taking a nap on a sanitary pad.
Why do these books exist? If the answers to life's secrets are to be found in books (a debatable proposition), can't at least a few of them be discovered on a foggy day spent poring over a well-illustrated anatomy textbook at the neighborhood branch of your local public library? They usually keep one near the reference desk, by the dictionaries. E-jac-u-late, v. eject semen. "Semen" gets you to "spermatozoa," which gets you to "ovum," and, before you know it, you know it all. What is love? Read a novel. Where did I come from? Philosophy, Religion. Dewey Decimals 100-299.
When most people lived on farms and women gave birth at home every other year or so, kids could see for themselves how animals mate, and bear and nurse their young. I once saw two cats go at it beneath a blackberry bush in a vacant lot after dark; later, one of those cats gave birth to a litter of kittens in our cellar, and although at first I thought they were three blind mice, that and Webster's New Collegiate and the anatomy textbook covered just about everything, which was good, because the Holmes chat had left me baffled and speechless, wondering, "Dr. Watson did what?"

Opinion question for all installing contractors:
Given a small retail space with two restrooms, one lavatory with a 0.5 gpm faucet flow rate in each, would you prefer to use a single, roughly 6 to 8 kw tankless water heater such as Eemax or Chronomite, or a 6 gallon tank type heater mounted above the ceiling? Co-worker tells me contractors tell him tank type is the cheaper way to go. I find this hard to believe given a tank type would require a platform, drip pan, expansion tank or relief valve, hub drain to run the drip pan drain line to, and most likely a trap primer to keep the hub drain from drying out. Not to mention you would have to perform this work on a ladder.
If it were you, what would you do?
Thanks to all who respond.

Celebrate Siblings at the Clark's Free Family Day on July 30
For Immediate Release
July 10, 2006
A spectacular family day of sibling-inspired outdoor adventures and indoor activities will celebrate the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute's summer exhibition The Clark Brothers Collect: Impressionist and Early Modern Paintings. The "Clark Brothers Lawn Party Family Day" on Sunday, July 30 from 11 am to 4 pm features fun for all ages. Acrobats, live snakes, jousting, pony rides, and much more, explore the relationship, interests, and art collections of Sterling Clark and Stephen Clark. Most activities, the galleries, and special exhibition, are free on this day.
Three special tents will be dedicated to art projects related to The Clark Brothers Collect: Impressionist and Early Modern Paintings exhibition. Get inspiration for the Picasso scratch art activity by visiting the paintings Seated Woman and Dog and Cock by Picasso. Create a horseshoe family plaque in honor of "Never Say Die," Sterling's Epsom Derby winning racehorse.
Immerse yourself in Van Gogh's painting The Night Café by playing in "Van Gogh's Pool Hall," or in Gérôme's The Snake Charmer with a live snake display by the Berkshire Museum. Both of these famous works are on view.
At 1 and 3 pm, the acrobatic act Double Vision will perform "Sibling Symmetry." This duet is famous for expert juggling, classic mime, zany characterizations, mystifying illusion, contortion, and tight rope antics, providing for hilarious performances.
The Tanglewood Marionettes will present "Hansel and Gretel," based on the classic sibling fairytale by the Brothers Grimm at 12 and 2 pm. The production is approximately 45 minutes in length.
Outdoor fun includes jousting, horseshoes, croquet, badminton, and a "treasure trail" for families. Celebrate Stephen's relationship with the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum by stepping up to the plate in the "Cooperstown Batting Cage." Sterling's love of horses is honored with pony rides on "Sterling's Studs."
Episodes from vintage television shows will air in the courtyard. Other indoor sibling themed entertainment will include lively gallery talks in the permanent collection with curator of education Michael Cassin at 11 am, 1 pm, and 3 pm.
Charles Flint, a Lenox, MA based antiques appraiser, will offer his expertise to those who wish to have a family heirloom appraised. Flint will offer his services in the big tent on the front lawn from 11 am to 4 pm. A fee of $5 per item (limit of three items per person) will be charged.
Delectable food from local establishments will be available for purchase throughout the day including sushi, pizza, crab cakes, BBQ, Indian buffet, roasted chicken, and hotdogs and hamburgers. The Happy Feet Dance Orchestra will play on the front steps of the marble building providing a musical treat all afternoon.
The brothers were heirs to the Singer Sewing fortune and grew up in New York City and Cooperstown, NY. While early in their collecting they had often consulted one another and sought out works together, by the 1920s they were no longer on speaking terms. Sterling founded the Clark in Williamstown in 1955. Stephen was among the founding trustees of the Museum of Modern Art, and established a number of cultural institutions in Cooperstown, including the Fenimore Art Museum, The Farmers' Museum, and the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.
The Clark Brothers Collect: Impressionist and Early Modern Paintings unites the masterpieces collected by Sterling Clark—works by Renoir, Monet, Homer, Sargent, and more—alongside those collected by his brother, Stephen Clark, including paintings by Hopper, Matisse, Cézanne, Hopper, and Picasso. On view through September 4, this exhibition features over 70 paintings and explores the Clark brothers' relationship, their rivalry, and the influential but ultimately divergent roles they came to play in the arts in the United States.
The Clark is located at 225 South Street in Williamstown, Massachusetts. The galleries are open daily 10 am to 5 pm (closed Mondays from September to June). Admission is $10 for adults, free for children 18 and younger, members, and students with valid ID. Admission is free November through May. For more information, call 413-458-2303 or visit www.clarkart.edu.

Roaming rocks of the Racetrack Playa in Death Valley National Park
In Death Valley National Park, you won't find much moving across the Racetrack Playa, a dry lakebed about three miles long and 1 1/2 miles wide. Well, except rocks. The playa, about 30 miles southwest of Scotty's Castle Visitor Center, is known for its mysterious moving rocks. No one has actually seen them move, and no one is certain about how they move, though the tracks they leave behind indicate that they do wander. Some theories attribute their movement to rain and wind. Some point to ice. A few things about the rocks are clear. They eroded from nearby mountains and most are a few pounds, though some weigh hundreds. The surface they rest on is also unusually flat, varying only about an inch from one end to the other.

Palliative Chemotherapy for Liposarcoma in Dogs
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
Lili Duda, VMD, Section Editor of the OncoLink Veterinary Oncology Menu, responds:
This is a very good question. While it is technically true that there are no reports of the specific drug doxorubicin (Adriamycin) to treat the specific tumor type liposarcoma, what is true is that doxorubicin is quite commonly used to palliate soft tissue sarcomas in dogs and cats. Doxorubicin has documented activity against a wide variety of soft tissue sarcomas in dogs, cats, and humans, and is considered a first-line choice for this general tumor type, both in the palliative, adjuvant, and neo-adjuvant settings. Liposarcomas are relatively uncommon soft-tissue sarcomas in dogs, and arise from the fatty connective tissues. They tend to be intermediate to high grade tumors, although the treatment aim is still controlling the primary tumor, as this is usually the clinical problem rather than metastatic spread. As a very general rule-of-thumb, the more rapidly growing the tumor, the more likely it is to have a good initial response to chemotherapy, although it is also more likely to become resistant within a few months. The general protocol when using chemotherapy in a palliative fashion is to give two "cycles" of chemotherapy (in the case of doxorubicin it can be given every 2 to 3 weeks) and then evaluate for response--if the drug is having the desired effect (e.g. decrease in pain or compression), then it can be continued for a total of about 6-8 cycles before the maximum tolerable dose is attained.

So, you have a problem with finding positives in a rebuilding year? Also, you are being a bit disingenuous by saying there is *nothing* to be positive this year.
No. I can't actually.
So, you can't think of anything positive about the Cubs?
Horrific team.
A large market team like the Cubs should be using their resources to their advantage by doing BOTH. Feilding a competiitive major league team and building the farm at the same time. Not tanking seasons, trading players for prospects, higher draft positioning, and getting some extra pennies to spend internationally.
Unfortunately. This thread is more about sprinkling powdered sugar on a turd.
The only thing positive about this season is that it's just about finished.
The problem isn't mine. I didn't put the players on the field.
Cubs will probably finish last in the division and gain a top five draft pick as a result.
Nothing challenging about that. It's good to know that this great scouting department can take a vacation knowing that they don't have to find "that" player picking in the latter part of the first round. That's a positive for them I guess.

MCC workers experience Chinese earthquake
AKRON, Pa. – A powerful earthquake struck central China at about 2:30 p.m. local time today, leveling buildings and claiming more than 8,000 lives, according to news reports.
Eight Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) workers are serving as English teachers at universities in the affected areas of Sichuan province and Chongquing municipality. All have been accounted for, and none were harmed in the earthquake, according to Kathleen Suderman, an MCC representative in Beijing.
MCC is monitoring the humanitarian needs created by the earthquake in anticipation of a possible relief response, Suderman said.
Several MCC workers were planning to spend the night in sports fields as a precaution against aftershocks, Suderman said.
"They're camped out with their students," she said.
MCC's English teachers in China are Deborah Brande, of Souderton, Pa.; Eric Eberly, of Hartville, Ohio; William Gray, of Amelia, Va.; Daryl Johnson, of Dannebrog, Neb.; Catherine McKinlay, of Otago, New Zealand; Carol Park, of Denver, Colo.; Mark Sunderman, of Binghamton, N.Y.; and Daniel Tursack, of Pottstown, Pa.

The Humanities major provides the basis of a strong liberal arts education, preparing students for success in a number of fields ranging from law, education, and journalism to business, government, and other fields. The major emphasizes cultural literacy, aesthetics, critical thinking, writing or research skills that are presented in a variety of formats many of which utilize modern technology. The goal of the program is to expose students to a canon of interdisciplinary works that will enable them to be adept in a variety of interpretive skills from cultural, aesthetic and historical literacy to structural and philosophical interpretation of styles, movements and periods. Majors are prepared for graduate school in a variety of disciplines or professions in areas ranging from education, government, law, medicine, the fine arts or the corporate realm. Students majoring in humanities are encouraged to select a second discipline as a minor.
Study Abroad - Study abroad interdisciplinary humanities courses are also offered in summer terms. Check with department faculty for course offerings. Previous courses include: Moorish Spain (Spain), Encounters with British Culture (England), and Golden Ages of Italy and Greece (archeological field study tour of Italy, Greece and Turkey).
Online Offerings - Typically, some online sections are offered during the Fall, Spring and Summer sessions. Check for availability with the Department.
A major in humanities consists of 30 credit hours (39 credit hours maximum) in HUM designated courses and Humanities-related disciplines, which must include the following:
(See Complete Course Descriptions Section in Catalog)
HUMANITIES Major Important Notes:
A minor in humanities consists of 18 credit hours in courses marked HUM.
Students who plan to teach Humanities on the secondary level should consult with the School of Education early in their academic careers to determine the specific requirements.

Like Bryan Cuneo of Anniston, I also called Quintard Mall to inquire about the absence of the recycling containers that are provided by the county extension service. I was told, as was Mr. Cuneo, that space was needed for the relocation of the Firestone sign because the new CVS Pharmacy sign would be occupying the previous Firestone site.
However, after politely inquiring further, I was also told that the area where the bins were located had become a dumping ground for mattresses, car parts and other items that should have gone to the county landfill. I was told that considerable manpower and energy had been expended by Quintard Mall in maintaining the appearance of the recycling area because people abused it. This is not a surprise to me. Almost every time I dropped off my recyclable items, the area was a mass of trash because people did not obey the guidelines that were plainly printed on the metal containers.
Quintard Mall was doing its part to be a good steward of the community by making space available to those who want to recycle properly. It is not its fault that this service is no longer offered. It is the fault of those who are apathetic and lethargic, who don't play by the rules, who have no concern that landfills will get full and that there are smarter ways to dispose of the waste we create. These people have brought to a screeching halt a very viable and needed program, and successfully thrown our area back into the '70s.

Internally Europe must stabilize, and externally it must show that it is capable of dealing with future challenges. To that end, the European Union needs new approaches to European social policy and to its role in the world - efforts that are also needed in order to achieve new levels of legitimacy among its citizens. The EU's ability to provide cohesion to its half billion inhabitants must be promoted if its unity in diversity is not to begin crumbling. From social to international affairs, the "European project" is multifaceted and its future must be discussed openly, even if policymakers and the public are hesitant to do so.

By Paul Tenorio | Orlando Sentinel UCF Writer
6:00 PM EST, February 2, 2013
It looked as though UCF might find a way to pull another close game out on the road, but the Knights did not have an answer down the stretch and fell, 75-71, at the Cam Henderson Center.
UCF opened the game shooting just 3 of 18 from the field and though they began to shake out of that funk later in the game, they did not have enough to overcome Marshall senior Nigel Spikes, who had 11 points and nine blocks.
The Knights were led by senior Keith Clanton, who snapped out of an offensive funk to put up a game-high 24 points, and Calvin Newell, who added 19 points. Junior Isaiah Sykes had 10 points on 4 of 15 shooting.
The loss snaps a four-game win streak for UCF, which drops to 15-6 on the season and 5-2 in Conference USA.
UCF will play next in a crucial C-USA showdown against Southern Miss on Feb. 6 at home at 7 p.m. Fans who attend the Knights' football signing day event at Bright House Networks Stadium that night from 5:45-6:45 p.m. will receive two complimentary tickets to the UCF-Southern Miss basketball game.

Dominion Virginia Power is launching a program for people who want to install solar panels on their property.
On Thursday, the power company will begin accepting online applications for their Solar Purchase Program, which will help eligible customers offset the cost of adding solar power to their homes and properties.
"We have seen a growing interest from customers since we announced this program last year," said Ken Barker, vice president-Customer Solutions and Energy Conservation. "This pilot program, which receives funding through our Dominion Green Power program, gives our customers who are interested in getting power from the sun another option than net metering that could help them reduce their installation costs."
Customers interested in participating can obtain and submit an application online at www.dom.com, keyword: Solar Purchase Program. Participation in the program is first-come, first-serve, and is limited to a total of 3 megawatts.

Welcome to the Home Page of Undergraduate Advising in the College of Business (COB) at the University of Texas at Arlington. The purpose of this site is to provide current and prospective College of Business students with some of the information they need to be successful in their college career.
Each student in the College of Business has access to a professional academic advisor for educational and vocational guidance. The advising process is designed to assist students as they make important decisions related to their academic progress at UT Arlington and career goals in general.
Specifically, the purpose of advising is:
|To empower students to clarify and achieve their educational goals by providing timely and accurate information about degree requirements, as well as College and University policies and procedures.
|To provide every business student with the opportunity to develop a relationship with a knowledgeable advisor in order to obtain sound academic advising with a degree of continuity.
To provide students with information about additional services, programs, and support systems available within the College and University as appropriate.
Ultimately, the student is responsible for seeking academic advice, making decisions regarding goals, meeting degree requirements, and enrolling in appropriate courses. The academic advisor is to provide assistance and help in these decisions. All students are responsible for understanding and complying with University and College policies and procedures.
The Advising Center is located on the first floor of the Business Building, Suite 107. Feel free to contact the Center by calling 817.272.3368 between the hours of 8:00 am and 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday.
While an effort is made to keep all information current on this website, it is not intended nor does it contain all regulations that relate to students. Changes may occur and become effective when the proper authorities so determine and will apply to all students. The document of authority for all undergraduate students is the online undergraduate catalog that was in effect at the time the student first enrolled at U. T. Arlington (subject to an eight-year limitation). The requirements given in the online versions of these catalogs supersede information published here or information issued by any academic department, program, college, or school.

Information for Apprentices and Trainees | Information for Employers
Apprenticeships and traineeships provide a gateway to great jobs and real hands on training in almost any field of employment. Whether you're interested in a career in building and construction, business or hairdressing, an Australian apprenticeship or traineeship means you earn while you learn and gain a heap of onsite experience while you're at it!
For employers apprenticeships and traineeships form the backbone of new employment in many Australian industries. They enable people to kick start their employment while they are learning and also offer employers great financial incentives for taking on new staff.
Information for Apprentices and Trainees
Apprenticeships and traineeships are available across more than 500 occupations. Opportunities are not only available in the more tradition trades like building and construction, electrical, engineering, plumbing and automotive, but now also in hospitality and tourism, hair and beauty, sport and recreation, business, horticulture and much much more.
GippsTAFE's apprenticeship and traineeship programs can help you achieve your employment goals across a number of different career paths.
Benefits to Apprentices

- Australian School-based Apprenticeships
Other assistance or incentives may be available from your state training authority. Please consult the Skills Victoria website for further information.
How do I begin an apprenticeship/traineeship?
Firstly you will need to secure employment as a trainee or apprentice. Your local Australian Apprentice Centre can assist you to find and apply for apprenticeship and traineeship opportunities.Once you have found a position your employer must register your traineeship or apprenticeship with their local Australian Apprenticeship Centre. Part of this process will be the selection of a Registered Training Organisation, such as GippsTAFE, which will provide your formal training, off-the-job, on-the-job, or as a combination of both.
What can I do to improve my chances of securing an apprenticeship?
For those who are having trouble securing a suitable apprenticeship or who would like to get ahead of the pack GippsTAFE offers a number of pre-apprenticeship courses.
These entry level courses provide you with skills and knowledge to increase your chances of securing an apprenticeship. In some instances these courses can shorten the length of your apprenticeship by providing you with the same off-the-job training as a first year apprentice.
To find out more about apprenticeships in Australia visit the Australian Apprenticeships website.

News Releases by Email
News Release
Friday, December 02, 2011
Media contact: Joy Hill, 352-258-3426
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) will
treat portions of Lake Tohopekaliga for hydrilla during the week of
Dec. 5, weather permitting, and will monitor the lake for 90 days
after treatment. Lake Toho, as it is called, is in Osceola
The FWC's Invasive Plant Management Section will treat the
hydrilla with Aquathol K™ applied by both helicopter and boat.
Aquathol K™ has no restrictions for fishing, swimming or
irrigation. Aquathol is approved for use in lakes by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency and the Florida Department of
Agriculture and Consumer Services.
The treatments will consist of about 825 acres of trails and
other access/flood-protection areas on Lake Toho.
Hydrilla is an invasive, exotic, aquatic plant spread easily by
boats throughout the state's lakes and rivers. It clogs waterways,
making recreational activities difficult or impossible, and chokes
out beneficial native plants. Managing and treating it is necessary
for the health of Florida's waters and to enable continued
recreational boating and other aquatic activities.
What makes invasive plant management so complicated is that
hydrilla can benefit recreational anglers and waterfowl hunters and
even help support the endangered snail kite. On the other hand,
scientific research and the economics of attempting to manage it
provide a compelling reason to try to keep it out of new areas and
control it before it harms beneficial native habitat, navigation,
flood control, potable and irrigation water supplies, recreation
and the aesthetic qualities of lakes.
The FWC attempts to balance these needs while managing
For questions about this treatment, contact Ed Harris, FWC
invasive plant management regional biologist, at 407-858-6170.
FWC Facts:The Florida panther, Florida's official state animal, is one of the most endangered animals on earth, with an estimated 100-160 adults and subadults remaining in southern Florida.

Funeral Wednesday for Toddler Found Dead in Trunk
A community visitation and funeral service has been set up to remember Isaiah Theis.
Polk County deputies found the 2-year-old's body in the trunk of a locked car near his home Wednesday night.
Isaiah had several sets of keys with him, according to the family's pastor and friend, Rick Van Gundy. He says among them was the key to the locked car in which Isaiah's body was discovered.
Van Gundy was among those who took part in the search for Isaiah. He says he used a flashlight himself to look inside and under the car but says it never occurred to anyone at the time to look in the trunk because the car was locked.
Preliminary autopsy reports show Isaiah likely died of hyperthermia due to the heat.
They don't suspect foul play.
A visitation will be held from 4-8 p.m. Tuesday, July 23, at Trollhaugen Convention Center at 2232 100th Avenue in Dresser, Wis.
The funeral will be held at 11 a.m. There will be a private burial for family members to attend.

New Zealand author 28 year old Eleanor Catton has won the prestigious Man Booker Prize 2013 with her second novel The Luminaries, a murder mystery set in 19th Century Hokitika.
She is the youngest author to ever win the award, literature's most sought after prize. The win is expected to catapault Catton (and Hokitika) into the limelight.
Set in 1866 gold-rush Hokitika, the novel's structure and narrative is propelled by 12 men aligned to 12 signs of the zodiac. At 832 pages, it is the longest book ever to win. The Man Booker judges described the novel as "a New Zealand Twin Peaks".
She is the third New Zealander to be shortlisted for the Booker, after Keri Hulme, who won in 1985, for The Bone People and Lloyd Jones, who was shortlisted for Mr Pip in 2007.

His advice to them was practical: Do your job and do it well. Find a mentor. And take risks — calculated ones.
But what the young rock star politician also brought from Texas to Omaha on Friday was a chance for the audience to look in the mirror.
For in San Antonio Mayor Juliįn Castro's Mexican surname and black hair, his relative youth and his loving stories of his telenovela-watching grandmother and Chicano-movement mother, the mostly Hispanic audience of corporate workers and college students saw themselves. And they saw what their future could hold.
Castro was in Omaha Friday because Union Pacific Railroad brought him here to speak to the company's Latino employees. The railroad also invited a Latino student group from the University of Nebraska at Omaha.
Castro was propelled to national prominence a year ago after giving the keynote speech at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C., becoming the first Latino to do so.
His twin brother, Joaquķn, was elected last year to the U.S. House of Representatives. Joaquķn is a Democrat who represents part of San Antonio.
The Castro brothers, who turned 39 last month, are seen as rising stars in the Democratic Party. They are telegenic, Ivy League-educated and, as second-generation Mexican-Americans, represent the fastest-growing demographic group in the U.S.
More than half the nation's population growth between 2000 and 2010 was Hispanic. In Nebraska, nearly all of the state's population gains were attributed to Hispanics and other racial minorities. In Texas, 4 million Hispanics were added during the decade.
Hispanics are why San Antonio, a city of 1.3 million people — most of them Latino — is now the second-largest city in Texas and the seventh-largest in the U.S.
Castro shared those figures Friday with his Omaha audience at the Latino Employee Network's third annual convention, held at the Magnolia Hotel downtown.
"This is a very special moment in our nation's history," Castro said. "A lot of eyes are turned toward the Latino community."
Castro spoke first to the UNO students. All 12 said their generation was the first in their families to go to college. They were studying everything from finance to social work and felt the pressure of being a "first" — coupled with a desire to achieve and give back.
Castro said they could serve their communities by being successful in careers and following their passion. He said it was OK if they didn't know exactly where they would land.
He urged them to take risks — but then cautioned against careless risks. For example, he said, he was asked to consider running for statewide offices in Texas such as governor. Instead, he decided to remain mayor, where he is starting his fifth year in office.
"The people that get ahead tilt a little," he told them. "But move carefully. Find the right balance for yourself."
Juliįn Castro said he didn't grow up thinking he would become mayor. Dragged to political events by his mother, who helped found the La Raza Unida, a political party for Mexican-Americans, Castro said he initially found politics boring.
And then he and his brother landed at Stanford, where he saw the contrast between his mostly Latino hometown and the broader world that seemed better educated and had more access to power. That's when he decided to jump in.
Juliįn and Joaquķn ran for the student senate at Stanford. Then, after both graduated from Harvard Law, the pair returned to San Antonio and opened their own firm. Juliįn was elected to the City Council in 2001, and then mayor in 2009.

Asked if he had any plans to run for president someday, Castro demurred. He said he planned to stay in San Antonio for now but would "never say never."
Speaking to the UNO students, Castro stressed the importance of making a lasting difference. He used his own iPhone as a symbol of how the ease and wonder of technology creates an impermanence, noting that he hasn't printed a single one of the 1,736 pictures he has taken on his phone.
He told the students about the old Polaroid camera, with costly film that limited your chances to get the right shot. Waving an invisible Polaroid print in the air, he pantomimed how you had to wait for the image to slowly appear. But once it did, it stuck. It was permanent.
"As you go forward, you want to be the Polaroid leader," Castro said. "Your leadership is permanent. It is not transitory."
Perhaps Castro's visit will leave a lasting impression.
The UNO students appeared starstruck. And Luis Delgado, one of the U.P. employees, said Castro's message increased his own resolve to advance — not necessarily in politics, but in his career.
Delgado, 23, was born in the U.S. but raised in Mexico. He landed at U.P.'s Omaha office by way of St. Mary's University in San Antonio. One year into his marketing and sales job at the nation's largest railroad, Delgado is handling $30 million in revenue.
"He's just an inspiration," Delgado said of Castro. "It's impressive all that he's done. He's a leader and I admire him."

For the last five years, the community health center in the 1300 block of Noble Street has covered Bloodworth's medical needs with little wait time, much to her satisfaction.
"The personnel are so friendly," Bloodworth said. "The wait is a little longer than some other places, but the doctors talk to you and listen to you."
However, Bloodworth's experiences could soon change.
Americans this week began enrolling in federal insurance marketplaces, key components of the 2010 Affordable Care Act that are mainly to help uninsured residents afford health care. Community health centers have undertaken federally funded expansion efforts in the past three years to accommodate for the growth of newly insured patients. However, Alabama's decision not to expand Medicaid as stipulated by the Affordable Care Act could mean greater patient growth and financial burdens than local community centers had anticipated, some health industry experts say.
As stipulated in the Affordable Care Act, Congress in 2011 began a five-year, $11 billion plan to expand the federal community health center program so it could handle the increase in patients buying insurance in the marketplaces. The Affordable Care Act also offered states three years' worth of free federal money to expand their Medicaid programs to cover more low income residents who will still be too poor to afford insurance in the marketplaces. Alabama was one of several states that opted out of the Medicaid expansion.
"As a result, we're going to have more people coming into community health centers now than ever before," said Dr. Mickey Trimm, associate professor of health care management at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. "It's a serious problem ... they're doing everything they can to try to get ready for this."
Trimm said that to pay for the Medicaid expansion, the government will start cutting back on payments that help hospitals cover the costs of treating uninsured patients. With fewer Alabama hospitals able to pay for the care of the uninsured and with no Medicaid expansion, many of those patients will end up at community health centers, Trimm said.
"That's going to leave community health centers as major players in stepping up for that," Trimm said.
Trimm noted that if state community health centers are overburdened in the coming years, some patients could slip through the cracks due to excessive wait times and not receive the care they need, even those covered by Medicare and Medicaid. He said that while community health centers will always accept Medicaid and Medicare payments, many private practice doctors do not.
"Many doctors don't accept Medicare and Medicaid because they don't pay as much as say Blue Cross Blue Shield," Trimm said.
Bloodworth, who is covered by Medicare and Medicaid, said part of the reason she goes to Anniston Quality Health Care is that it accepts payments from such programs.
"I've experienced that — doctors that don't accept Medicare and Medicaid," Bloodworth said. "But a lot of old people have low incomes and they couldn't afford to go to a doctor if they didn't have (Medicare and Medicaid)."
Wayne Rowe, CEO of Gadsden-based nonprofit Quality of Life Health Services, which owns Anniston Quality Health Care, along with similar facilities in Talladega and Cleburne counties, said the centers' expansion efforts have proceeded well.
"We've been expanding services," Rowe said. "We've had to hire some more personnel."
Rowe said the Anniston facility offers family medicine, dentistry, eye care, pharmacy and X-ray services. Operation hours were recently expanded there to provide service to more patients.
"And for the Anniston area, we're in the process of looking for a new facility to accommodate the patient demand we have now," Rowe said. "The wait time is still a little longer than we'd like ... hopefully we'll be able to secure another facility in the area soon."
Rowe said that despite the state's decision not to expand Medicaid, the Quality of Life facilities will be ready for patient growth next year and the increased cost of caring for more uninsured residents.
"Because of the marketplaces, now many of our uninsured will become insured and we'll be reimbursed for the services we provide," Rowe said.
Rowe said that about 35 percent of Quality of Life's patients are uninsured each year, while another 15 percent have private insurance and the rest use Medicaid and Medicare.
Amy Simmons, director of communications for the National Association of Community Health Centers, said that in addition to some states not expanding Medicaid, many community health centers have in recent years had to deal with federal funding delays that have slowed some expansion efforts.
"There have been some challenges," Simmons said.
Despite those problems, the community health center system is moving forward and will be ready for the patient expansion next year, Simmons said.
"People need to have good health coverage and that's what community health centers stand ready to do," Simmons said.

Printmaking exhibit at TTU's Derryberry Gallery
A selection of works by printmaker Tonia Matthews is currently on display at Tennessee Tech University's Derryberry Gallery in the Roaden University Center.
The Maryland artist's work portrays everyday items that carry whimsical characteristics, ranging from pairs of shoes to purses and baskets full of stars. She gathers her subject matter from her childhood memories in rural Indiana and her life in urban Baltimore.
The prints share a theme that no single image is more important than its surroundings, which is portrayed through energetic marks and color relationships that lead the eye between the figure and ground. Each image is infused with energy, stunning color and excitement.
The show will be in the gallery until Thursday, April 26, when there will be a 4:30 p.m. reception with the artist.
The gallery is open Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. It is free and open to the public.

I wouldn't get overly excited about such things. The FCC has one master: Congress. And Congresspeople need to be elected, every 2 years, and they need to get their important messages as to why they need to be elected/re-elected out on the most watched stations. The 1996 rule overriding HOA restrictions on antennas had the fundamental 1st Amendment right to hear political speech as its foundation. If Charter starts making it difficult or impossible to receive the broadcast stations without a converter box, they will be required to supply that box for free. My guess is they'll support QAM.
The NTCA may not like it, they may not want it, but free television will exist as long as PAC money sustains it. It is hard to imagine the day that will end.

"I was pulling out of Sonic and saw a guy on a motorbike dart through traffic and accelerate quickly," said Chris Roden, of Cropwell. "He darted between two cars wide open."
Tyler Funderburg, of Pell City, said he was at Sonic when he saw the man on the motorcycle speed by.
"He just hammered down," Funderburg said. "He took off like a jet."
Pell City Police officer Jimmy Woodard identified the man as Jacob Trey Baker, 19, of Ashville.
Woodard said Baker was traveling south on U.S. 231 on a Kawasaki Ninja when he struck a Buick LeSabre driven by Edna Bean, 83, of Pell City.
"A witness said she (Bean) had a green turn arrow and was attempting to make a legal left turn onto Bruce Etheredge Parkway," Woodard said. "Oncoming traffic was stopped and he (Baker) was weaving between vehicles as he entered the intersection."
Woodard said St. Clair County Central Dispatch had received several calls regarding erratic driving by a man on a motorcycle shortly before the accident.
Pell City Police officer Justin Cooper, who was first on the scene, said he was traveling north on U.S. 231 and had turned around but not yet initiated pursuit when he saw the wreck.
Woodard said Baker was far exceeding the legal speed limit at the time of the accident.
He said Baker was transported by helicopter to University Hospital in Birmingham and Bean was transported by ambulance to St. Vincent's St. Clair Hospital.
Pell City Assistant Fire Chief Mike Burdette said Baker received significant injuries in the accident.
The accident is under investigation by the Pell City Police Department.
